ISO 14064 and ISO 14068

GHG – Greenhouse Gas – Gas that contributes to the natural greenhouse effect. According to the Kyoto Protocol, it includes a group of six greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by human activities, namely:
carbon dioxide,
methane,
nitrous oxide,
hydrofluorocarbons,
perfluorocarbons and
sulfur hexafluoride.

Emissions of these gases should be measured in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents based on the global warming potential of the gases.

Global warming is increasing at a pace that requires urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – especially CO2, which applies to companies of all sizes and industries. The ISO 14064 standard provides clear guidelines and requirements for quantifying and verifying emissions in the GHG inventory – and does so at both the organizational and individual project levels.

The ISO 14064 standard consists of 3 parts:

Part 1: Specification for Quantifying and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals, with Guidance for Application at the Organizational Level,

Part 2: Specification for quantitative reporting, monitoring and reporting on reductions in emissions or increases in the impact of greenhouse gases, with instructions for implementation at the project level,

Part 3: Specification with guidance for verification and validation of greenhouse gas statements.

Our consultants will help you build a GHG reduction system by:

  • At the organizational level, establish a system for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their removal. Which includes requirements for: designing, developing, managing, reporting and verifying the GHG cadastre in your organization.
  • At the organizational level, establish principles and requirements for GHG project planning, identifying and selecting project-relevant GHG sources, sinks and reservoirs and the baseline scenario, monitoring, quantifying, documenting and reporting GHG project performance, and data quality management.

At the organization level, establish principles and requirements for the validation and verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) statements.
